Jon Fox said "We have cut out 3 committees and 25 subcommittees. We released one-third of our committee staff, saving over $100 million just in the cost of running Congress. As well, we have a gift ban we are now going to move towards passage, lobbying reform. We have already cut by one-third our franking privileges on mail. We are certainly becoming more accountable with the adoption of the Shays Act, making all the laws we pass also apply to the management of Congress, whether it be OSHA or Fair Labor Standards or civil rights." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
